Nationalist Party of Serbia

The Nationalist Party was a reactionary political party in Serbia that was active from 1815 to 1918. The party was centered around a core of diehard monarchists and nationalists who rejected Austrian and Ottoman influence over Serbia in favor of an alliance with the Russian Empire and the creation of a South Slavic state in the Balkans. The Nationalist Party was a strong supporter of Yugoslavism, and the party was a favorite of the Serbian monarchs until the rise of the Serbian Progressive Party during the late 19th century. The Nationalist Party dissolved upon the formation of Yugoslavia in 1918.
